Fuelling Positive Change Campaign - NCVO 

# data[].attributes.body
NCVO's (National Council for Voluntary Organisations) Fuelling Positive Change campaign was formally launched on 6 July.
Fuelling Positive Change calls on charities to consider moving investments away from businesses involved in the extraction, production, transportation, refining and marketing of fossil fuels. Examples of these are coal, tar sands, oil and gas. Fossil fuels are the largest contributor to climate change, accounting for over 75% of global greenhouse gas emissions and nearly 90% of all carbon dioxide emissions. The aim of the campaign is to encourage charities to join in sending a powerful message that fossil fuels are unsustainable and could harm our people, our places, and see the widening of inequalities in communities around the world. The campaign will also highlight the financial and reputational risks of investing in fossil fuels.
Futher details about the roll-out of the campaign and how charitable organisations of all sizes can get involved are available at this link.

The Department of Health & Social Care - Community Automated External Defibrillators Fund

# data[].attributes.body
The Department of Health and Social Care is inviting interested organisations to register expressions of interest for its £1 million Community Automated External Defibrillators Fund, aimed at increasing the number of AEDs in public places where they are most needed and help save lives.
An estimated 1,000 new defibrillators are to be provided by the fund, with the potential for this to double as successful applicants will be asked to match the funding they receive partially or fully.

As part of the grant award, applicants will be asked to demonstrate that defibrillators will be placed in areas where they are most needed, such as places with high footfall, vulnerable people, rural areas or due to the nature of activity at the site.

Examples could include town halls, community centres, local shops, post offices and local parks, to ensure that defibrillators are evenly spread throughout communities and easily accessible if someone is experiencing an unexpected cardiac arrest.
